I have been dealing with Espares for some time now & have always found them to be very efficient & professional. I like the way they make sure you have the correct part for your machine. I can definately recommend this company for all your spare parts.

Easy Fix26 April 2016

This, along with the lawn mower switch, made for an easy fix (see video on that popular video hosting site if in doubt) and a BIG saving over buying a new mower. Well pleased! :)

will the capacitor just push into the switch as i can`t get the old one out thanks

Does it matter which way round the brown (live) and blue (neutral) wires go into the switch as long as it is the same on both sides?

Espares were of no help so for the benift of others the live feed in goes in the holes where the screwa are, wires from switch out to the bottom holes and capscitor into the top holes on the same side. Simples.

We cannot give out technical advice unfortunately. Please contact a technician for help with this question.

When I first switched on this summer had a problem first with the mower not switching off, later only starting up intermittently before cutting out. Replaced switch, not capacitor. Now, checked with multimeter, there seems to be no voltage at all at motor. Do I need to replace the capacitor? (No expert, resistance reads ~5.5 ohms on the 200-scale across the motor on the multimeter, which I do not think is high).

For information on your repair see our video: How to Fault Trace on a Small Appliance using a Multimeter : www.espares.co.uk/advice/10/2945

I replaced the switch and capacitor, the lawnmower ran perfectly when I tested it, put it all back together only to find it won’t now run. Checked everything, no loose connections, no burning smell or buzzing.

Use a meter to check continuity from the plug to the motor. If the motor measures high resistance then that would be the fault.
